Environmental electromagnetic interference from electronic article surveillance devices: interactions with an ICD

M E McIvor1

  • 1Research Section, Heart Institute of St. Petersburg, FL 33701, USA.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE
|December 1, 1995

Summary

Patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) should avoid electronic article surveillance (EAS) devices. Proximity to EAS systems can cause inappropriate ICD firing due to high-frequency noise interference.
